Thoughts are with you man! I'm sure he would be one proud granddaddy.
I learned that from the ALIEN marathon that's on the History Channel this week. (I actually already knew that from watching AA.)
Now don't you feel smarter?
You're welcome!
The D is indeed a great place to post. An oasis of peace & sanity.
I always do. I have played it 7-8 times over the years. I had a couple of bad holes, but I shot 84 with two triple bogeys. Wasn't too disappointed. It was just hard to keep a good grip, even with a glove on. I didn't have a dry stitch on me.
If you were on any board other than this one, you would offend someone just by posting this.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F. Expecting a record breaking 98°F for today's high. Slight chance of rain. We've got about 4 more days until fall arrives.

Good morning D League
Sitting around waiting for the sun to come up. Once it is up we should have plenty of it. Our current temperature is 67° and may approach 89°. I go in for a glaucoma check today. The doc is going to do what he described as an "EKG" of the optic nerve. I have never worn and do not now wear glasses but these eyes have been around for a long time.
I have sworn off watching any news. I dropped the big networks and a couple of cable news outlets 20 years ago but now I don't pay attention to any of them. I feel much better and sleep like a baby. Florida teachers are now authorized to carry firearms and our county was the first in the state to have every school with someone armed and well trained. I like that. I trust all have a nice day.

Add biscuits and grits and you have what I had for breakfast this morning. Feeling good. Might even go out to the range today and shoot my old .44
Completely agree. Candid views are not what they once were.
And I don't care. I still give my honest opinion. If someone doesn't like it, they can just write it off as coming from a crazy old man.

That is pretty accurate, for me. I put all that bacon between the two slices of bread. I figure that it is healthy, since I use wheat toast.

Don't rub it in, Sawnee. None of us Ky folks can grow perennials in the winter like you do.

I can't wait for the cooler weather to get here. It got up to 100 degrees yesterday here in the Chattanooga area, which I believe is a record for October. Supposed to be up to 98 today. What is going on with this hot weather? I wonder if we are being set up for an epic, Arctic blast of winter?
I have exactly five Facebook friends, one of whom is my wife. Three are hometown classmates and the other one is my best friend of more than 50 years who lives in Ohio. I get friend requests frequently but ignore them.

The thread about the lady cop who was convicted of murder was a Shakespearean tragedy.
100% true story.
When I was about 16, while hitchhiking from Harlan to Middlesboro, I got stuck at night out in the middle of nowhere. No traffic was on that road (between Harlan and Pineville) at all that night. The true boonies at that time. I came to a school bus shelter and decided to just try to sleep there. There was a house up the hill across the road.
Here's where it gets weird. I was sleepwalking but remember the details clearly. Sometime in the middle of the night I walked up the hill to that house and tried to go in the house. I was rattling the door but the door was locked. Someone inside said, "Who is it?" I told them my name. "What do you want?" they asked. I said, "I'm looking for my brother." "Well, he ain't here." I walked away and can't recall anything else. I remember this event as clear as day.
The point? If that door had not been locked I would have walked right into that dark house in the middle of the night and the owner might easily and justly shot me. The news would simply have been, "Dumb kid tries to break into house during the night and the owner kills him." Which would be true but does not tell the whole story, which only I knew.
No bad intentions on my part nor the homeowner. Yet someone ends up dead. And that is a Shakespearean tragedy.

I find it funny when you get friend requests from people you don't even know.
Good old US 119. I bet that road was really awful during that time. Were rock slides also a problem on that stretch back in those days?
Yep. Even if I know them I check out their page first. If they don't post any personal stuff and just post sappy memes I ignore them. Or if they were just acquaintances with whom I had nothing in common at the time, forget it.
It's not personal.
I know how you feel, Chief. I have a few facebook friends, mostly classmates or church family. I only do it to wish people happy birthday, and to keep up to date on obituaries, since I haven't taken the paper in several years. I never, and I mean never, post any personal stuff on my page.
I remember when I retired, December of 2017, we were heading to Hawaii for 6 weeks, and every chance we got, we played "All I Want For Christmas is A Real Good Tan" by Kenny Chesney. I know it is hot now, but I will be sick of cold weather by Christmas.
I was a roving golf caddy during those years. Middlesboro golfers would play in the annual Harlan CC golf tournament and we caddies would follow them. Nobody had golf carts those days. We got there and back however we could. Almost always by hitchhiking. Took no money with us (didn't have any) and no plans for where we would sleep when we got there. Hopefully there would be a barn somewhere near the golf course. That year I found no one to caddy for and, being hungry from not eating for two days, decided that evening to try to hitchhike back home. The Harlan caddies were looking for us with the intentions of kicking our butts for coming to their course. That's how I got stuck in the boonies at night on Hwy 119. Big adventure gone wrong.
Boy, was I dumb.

Don't know how it is today, but back then, I wouldn't mess with anybody from Harlan. You might end up missing.
Yep. Harlan people had a scary reputation at the time (Bloody Harlan). Two of those Harlan caddies were called Tojo and Satan (who could forget that?). But we Noetown boys (a poor suburb of town-ATX will know of us) were no cowards ourselves. We provided half the football team and almost all the Golden Glovers. Walked into the teeth of the dragon and survived..

I have about 100 more than I need. If I had never had a facebook account I would be happy, but I was drafted into one because I had a public office.
I was the President of my class so I have all the folks from class that have a facebook account. I have a bunch of friends in the UK and Spain because of a web site that I once edited. I have family (many of them hate my conservative ways!). I have political friends from the ten years that I held public office.
Now to the defense of facebook. I use them to host my pictures. I actually enjoy some facebook times with a few member of the D-League. Bottom line is that I am a social being and facebook helps me stay social.
I am a big Barren County wimp!
